are covered up, and that, on the other
hand, nearly all the finishing and decora-
tive work was in an entirely complete con-
ditiOn. We, however, carefully examined
the work as 1t exists, as to materials and
finish, verified the dimensions of the build
ing generally, and of its details, and at
many places, arbitrarily selected by
us, uncovered and cut into the brick, rub
BILE and dimension stone masonry, and
into the concrete. We made this investi-
CATION with reference not only to the re-
sponsibility resting upon as, but also to
the charges made against the work on the
building, as set forth in a communication
filed with the governor and referred to us.
We found the masonry in all cases to be
thoroughly substantial of each kind.
Stone similar to the samples, both rubble
and dimension, and most excellent brick
are laid with well filled joints of strong
mortar, and with proper bonds through
on the walls. The rolled and cast iron
work are of excellent quality aud well
fitted and put together. The plastering,
glass, openings, floors and other work
comply fairly with the drawings, speci-
fications and contracts, and are suitable
to the dignitied object of which they form
part.
In no case have We been able to discover
the defects charged, or evidence of their
existence, other than as they are ex-
pressed or i'm Piled in the criticisms aud
recommendations which we have hereinbe-
fore made.
In conclusion, it is our opinion that the
building throughout complies with the
plans, specifications and contracts, evinc-
ing the intelligent and conscientious care
of those in charge of the work, and when
com pleted will serve as worthy capitol
of a great state. Respectfully,
TSigned: B. M. HABRoD,

"Thc business man who has learned to

advancement marks all the great western
states. l was singulhrly impressed with
the beauties of scenery Of Yellowstone

west better than those of the east. They
seem more home like to me. They think
that the beauties of nature are better than
themselves, and not that they are better
than the beauties of nature The great
